For sale is a 91 eclipse gsx. I have had this car for 5 or so years and was making a drag car out of it. I have had other cars come and go and, I just do not have the time for this one anymore.It has very little interior since it was going to be drag-raced.The cons: It has been sitting for...

I went to start my eclipse after it has been sitting. I, finally, got a turbo on it and has been sitting for a while but, I did charge up the battery. When I went to turn on the car, it got power and could hear the buzzing noises.I turned the ignition and, it was slow to turn over at first...

I live in Carrollton and see a few every now and then. I hope that the younger generation can appreciate these cars since they are no longer being made and have not for over 20 years. I bought my first one in 1995, a talon. It was fun and did not know what I had at the time. It was quick...

Looking to see if anyone likes these cars in the Atlanta area anymore.... I know that they are getting old but, they can still be good cars and race cars that are relatively cheap. I am looking for new people to hang out with and help work on these kinds of cars.... The 1g especially. They...

I have a 90 talon tsi for sale. It has a high compression 2.0L motor that was supposedly built when I bought it.Currently, it needs rings/rebuild as, it was blowing the dipstick out at times. I have not started it in over a year and have lost interest in it as, I have several cars.The...

My .02 worth about FB is that, it is a place for junk. So many on it just type useless crap and do not even realize that their information is being bought and sold. To add insult to injury, many are too lazy to look up actual information on this site.As for dead picture sites that no...

I am putting up for sale, 3 DSMs for $3000 total, thats 1000 a piece and a huge bargain. I am moving on to other things.I have a 90 talon, 91 eclipse, and auto 92 talon. All are awd.The 90 talon is not running at the moment and will need to be towed. I am not sure what the electrical...

I went to my first auto show when I was younger (1989 World Congress center in Atlanta) The DSM cars were so new. I had brochures for all of them, at the time. My prediction to my friends, at the time was, these cars would be timeless just as muscle cars are for people like my father. I was...

I have not gotten another gauge as, I cannot seem to find a Faze gauge anywhere now. I have looked on Ebay and Amazon for the gauge that I have and, I have not seen one but, I will look again shortly. I am thinking of getting a Tial gauge like I have on my other talon and see if that will help...

I have link v3 and will do a pull on it in the near future. I do not have much time off of work but, I will when I get a chance to do so. I put a stock BOV on it and, it is still doing the same thing and nothing changed. I am going to get a better BOV as, the stock one may have an issue...

Will do. Thanks. I will in the coming days and update. I have to work the next 5 days and will not get to it. Thank you for the help. I had just about narrowed it down to that or something went bad in the tune, for some reason. I was going to see if anyone had encounted this before and it...

Just letting off the gas does not do anything to it. It is ok and just idles down. It is when hitting the gas again shortly after the shift. Just trying to be as precise as possible. I just do not want to go replacing things at will but, I have done all the maintenance on it as far as the...

pump is a 255 and fairly new, the filter is very new, too. Wires are 6 months old. New coilpack on yesterday. Pressure set to 37 psi, and 950cc injectors. Duty cycle was around 75% last I remember. Been a while since I did anything on link with it after tuning out the knock but, that was...

This car and my race car both have GM sensors. It is not the stock sensors. My auto talon has a recirculated bov and has a 2g sensor with a bad temp sensor and does not do this. My eclipse (race car) does not do this and has the exact same setup but, it is a 2.3L with a hybrid sc61 turbo...

Do you think it could be the BOV is going bad? it is pretty old. I am thinking of getting another one anyway. It never did this for the first 5 years of owning it. It is so strange.

no, It has never been. Not for the last 7 years. I bought it like it is now. It pulls great for one gear, has the hiccup for a few seconds or so, then it is fine for another pull in the next gear. It did not used to do this.

Over the last year and a half, my talon has been getting worse and worse with partial turbo spool at around 3500 rpms. I am not sure what is going on with it. It is doing 2 things now and, I just replaced the coilpack thinking it was just going bad.1. It is sputtering as the turbo is almost...

I know this thread is fairly old. Is Batleground not a decent option? It is up past the AFB but, I have never been.Do not go to Topspeed. They think they are too good to work on DSMs as they work on Porsche and GTRs. I took my talon there and, they charged me for work that they did not...

can take it to topspeed in alpharetta... there is a place near marietta but, cannot remember the name right now.

Kelvin.... You going to import shootout? also, did what you said with the talon and doing good on fuel now with the new filter. Thanks!! Great numbers too. Sorry took so long to get back with you on that too. If you are going to the showdown, will see you there. :)

What about any of the other information. does anyone have any other information about the other issues? I think, the pump is bad on the other trans that is out of the car. Also, the spline drive where the axles go in acts funny. You can turn the output shaft to the transfer case and the main...

what is the direct clutch? I know very little about autos. My apologies as I am learning and have a spare, although broke, trans that may have some good parts in it to fix the one in the car so, may attempt to do some of the fixing myself, if I get enough 'learning time' in. It only took me...

I thought it was just the OD. It is in 3rd only now. What all issues could cause this? I thought, I had 1-3 but, is only in 3rd. I have never had any experience with an auto. Thank you for all the info and advice. I guess I just have a bad taste in my mouth as every auto that I have owned...

never did a pull in the car. did have the od on but, never did a pull. Still breaking the engine in actually. If it is that easy to fix, I may give that a shot but, I do not know much about autos. This is why I love manuals. You just replace the wearable parts and keep fluid in it and it...

Can anyone tell me how to keep an auto from burning up the OD all the time. This is the 7th DSM that I have owned and got my second auto. The first one I had burned up the OD 2 times and, the shop said the first time was because of the speedo cable was broken. It broke again in 4000 miles and...

We are going to take the motor and trans back out and see if that is the issue. I believe it may be but, the person helping with the car was pretty sure he put the TC on all the way. We have another project at the moment so, will take about a month or so before we can get to the talon again...

We did not take the trans apart, just the motor. The only fluid that came out was while taking the motor out. After we put everything back together, we put some fluid in and just added about 2 quarts tops to the trans while in neutral after warming up. Is there something that should have been...

We looked for any disconnected wires, checked the selector and still, will not go into any gear. We are thinking that the trans is missing something during reassembly. Any common parts left out that we need to know about. The car was apart for a few months and may have misplaced a vital...

it was not drained. We are thinking it may still be low. The last bit we added did not change the level though. When everything was at temp, it was at the hot mark on the stick. Is it filling the converter? new to auto but not to DSMs.it was not drained. We are thinking it may still be...

Rebuilt the motor in a 92 awd talon. After putting the car back together, it started up. Filled the auto trans up and, it will not go into gear, any gear and move on its own. Assuming that it was put back in correctly, is there any procedure that may have been overlooked to refill the...

2 things that will possibly fix your problem. 1. get a heat shield for the manifold and 02 housing so that heat will not build in front of the radiator. 2. if you no longer have a condenser, put a pusher fan in front of the radiator on the a/c side along with a puller on the opposite side to...

It is situations like this in which it is important to have an AFR gauge in the car. Anytime the intake has a leak after the sensor, it is going to run so lean, the motor will sputter/die.Always check your intake system for leaks and make sure everything is together and tight and not...

Depends on your idea of light and of price being 'expensive'. Tracklite 2.0 is a good choice as they come in 17 x 8 and very light. They are around 300 per wheel. RPF1s are good in the same size. They are around 250 or so per wheel.I would go to tirerack or something of the sort that has...

Howell auto may have one. check out there site and see, if you want. As stated before too, all 420a motors come with OBD2 cpus. There are several places to find one if you look.

I guess aamco was telling me a lie then. My old neon kept popping out of third due to the fluid leaking. The guy told me the syncros were toast and would be 900, at the time to fix it. Guess he was lying to me then.

Check a few things1. Is it smoking at first start up and then go away after warming up? if so, the 'oil' you saw may just have been water and soot and on a cool morning, it will look white.2. Your car does not have the original turbo on it and may not have been hooked up correctly and...

I have an rx-8 and do agree with you on that to an extent. I did manage to get mine to 200 whp with a few bolt-ons. The HP that matters is WHP. Funny how most makers use crank hp. What you say is true though. As a car sees more and more age and parts start to ware out, the whp will drop...

Fix the cpu issue and put the correct cpu in it. 90 cpus are fairly rare and usually need the caps fixed (ask me how I know). You can find a decent cpu at pull a part or someone on tuners or local junkyard for fairly cheap. Check caps for leakage. If you see a little, move on or take your...

I rebuilt my laser and tightened my L19s to 135 with a MLS gasket and have had no issues with the car since. It lifted the head with standard ARPs and locked a stud and nut together in the process. Have ran 25psi and around 400 whp (according to dsmlink) and no issues at all.Just my 2...

Popping out of gear is almost always a syncro issue. It is usually caused by not having enough fluid in the transmission.More than likely, your transmission is on the way out and will only get worse with time. The motor mounts are probably not the cause, in this case. Replacing them, if...

If it is the clutch, have the car on a flat surface and hold the clutch in and put into gear. Rev the motor while pushing the clutch in. If the car starts to creep forward, your clutch is not disengaging properly and refer to Jack's fix on this by adjusting your clutch properly. A dragging...

To revive this thread, I would like to see several parts made from carbon fiber. CF is an awesome material. It does not stress like metal and IS resistant to everything metal is if made for that specific use.I would like to see one made for a valve cover, oil pan, and a cat-back exhaust...

It will be either balance shaft seals or oil pump seals.

It sounds like your bendix is hanging up. I would think it would fry your starter but, not sure. The screech you are referring to sounds just like a hanging bendix on the starter.

May sound funny but, check your battery connections...even a little corrosion can cause all kinds of junk. If you have any gauges in the car, watch them and see if it is leaning out or richening. Another possibility is the coolant sensor. Check the usual stuff like fuses and relays as well...

Sounds like it could be many things. It could be the throw-out bearing. There are many bearings on the car that could go bad.It could be in the transfer case and, check the Lobro joint as well. If it studders some, this joint could be bad. It is just after the transfer case. Look up on...

Make sure you do not have a line off in the intake tract. If you have a bad hose or anything that would let air come in, it will up your idle and make it run lean but, sounds like ICM, Biss, or ISC problem. Do you have an A/F meter??If you do, this will help tell if it is mechanical or...

Thanks for the post. I totally understand what you said and tried to say it to the other guy. More pistons makes for a smoother operation and you will get more tq over all. I did say that per piston/L you will not get as much as you have more weight being thrown around and that makes for a...

Amen to that. The replacement to displacement is a turbo....2 or even 4 in some cars.You jumped the gun. I was not attacking you, only giving you facts. In public is not the place for this and you being an idiot and calling names just shows your ignorance.The POINT was that 4cyl are...

I was about to post the BS that he sent me as I tried to be civil and all to him in a private message and explain to him what I was referring to...to no avail. This is not even worth it.The topic is about gearing and I have owned 5 dsm cars and love them for all their quirks. I have had...
